In reply to: Language VariableOkay, the WP codex said the WPLANG global was in wp-settings.php, but I found it in wp-config.php.

In reply to: New Auto Links pluginHowdy people,
An announcement page has been setup that describes some of the new features that will be found in v0.95, which is coming out this month. You can view the page at:Some of the new features are:
* Designed and tested on WordPress v2.0.
* Multilingual administration menu. Now Auto Links supports English, Chinese, Spanish, Korean, German, French, and Portuguese.
* A completely overhauled keyword management page. This version uses the incredible ActiveWidgets Grid for ease of use.
* Improved keyword tracking and statistics. No more strange and long URLs while using keyword tracking.
* Keyword tracking RSS feed. Get your tracking logs as a password protected RSS feed.
* Alerts you of an available update. As soon as an update is available on headzoo.com, Auto Links will let you know.
* Custom field settings override. Override global settings on a post-by-post basis using the WordPress custom fields. You can also tell Auto Links to completely ignore a post.
* JavaScript descriptions. The keyword’s description will appear in a floating layer that pops up next to the keyword when a visitor places their mouse pointer over the link. The layer remains there for a second after the mouse pointer is moved away.
* AJAXafied admin panel to speed up managing your keywords.
* Keyword plugin module system.The keyword plugin module system is going to be the most exciting new feature. New affiliate programs can be easily added to Auto Links, which means more ways for bloggers to make money. 🙂

In reply to: Wanted: Translators for Auto Links PluginWell, edgarlin has taken care of the Chinese for me. If there is anyone else out there that can translate a couple dozen phrase from English, to just about any other language, I would appreciate the help.

In reply to: Build In XML Parser?Thanks for the responses. While SimpleXML would be a great solution, like davidchait said, that would make my plugin unusable for people not running PHP 5.
If WordPress uses Magpie, then that’s great. But I need to know the names of the XML functions and their API. If I knew which include file the functions were defined it, I could look into it myself.Thanks!

In reply to: New Auto Links pluginblakekr,
Hmm, that’s strange. Possibly a limit in the size of the DB field that I hadn’t considered. The actual data is in the wp_options table. Look for the rows that have “autolinks” in them. This shouldn’t be an issue with the next version, as it will use it’s own tables for keyword storage.– Sean

In reply to: New Auto Links pluginHowdy All,
Well, Auto Links has been doing pretty well. From what I can tell, it’s been downloaded about 6,000 times since I wrote the first version.
I’ve been pretty busy so I haven’t made any updates in a while, but I’m starting the next minor version. Actually this should be another total re-write.
If anyone has any suggestions or comments, I’d love to hear them. If the suggestion is good enough, I’ll add it to the next version.– Sean

In reply to: New Auto Links pluginHowdy people,
The new version of Auto Links, which is v0.94, is up for download from my new website, http://www.headzoo.com.This version fixes a few bugs, but the big new feature is an improvement to the Amazon Associates features. Now you can choose, from the admin panel, which Amazon you want to use.
You can choose Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.ca, Amazon.de, Amazon.co.jp, or Amazon.fr.
I hope this is good news for everyone out there that have been asking for a UK version.

In reply to: New Auto Links pluginBTW, what the error sounds like, just off the top of my head, is that the array that holds the keywords and links is empty… as in you have no keywords defined. Since that is probably not the case, try using version 0.92. After that version I made some changes to the way the keywords and links were saved in the database.

In reply to: New Auto Links pluginAll versions are online, just not “advertised”. I don’t know which version you were using, but here are some links to past versions.

In reply to: New Auto Links plugin@texacola – Sure, that sounds simple enough.
@argentine – I’ll look into it, are you using the latest version? I ask only so I can make sure I’m looking at the right line numbers.
@iamwhoam – Hmmm.. There is no easy way to accomplish that. There are hacks, but you’d need to know a little PHP to pull it off. The function that converts keywords into links is al_parse_post ($al_postText). So if you pass the text of your HTML page to al_parse_post, it’ll return that HTML with linkafied words. Example:
$parsedText = al_parse_post($myHtmlText);
That much would be pretty easy. Having a separate list of keywords just for your personal HTML pages is more difficult, and require a bit of hacking the code.

In reply to: how to disable autolinks plugin in pages?Hey,
If it’s overwhelming your pages with links, then you might first want to remove some of the words from your keywords list. Don’t add a keyword if you think you’re only going to use it in one post and never again.Also make sure you’re not using words that are too simple. “Jack” would be a bad keyword, but “Jack’s Blog” would be better.
To get the plugin to ignore a post altogether, try something like this:
(Starting at around line 68 with version v0.93.1)
function al_parse_post ($al_postText) {if (!strstr($al_postText, ‘<noautolinks></noautolinks>’)) {
// All the code here
}
Then, add <noautolinks></noautolinks> to any post that you want Auto Links to ignore. I haven’t tested that, but seems like it should work.

Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Post Save or Publish Times OutI’ve been having this problem too, and it’s really irritating. The problem only happens when including URLs to non-pinging sites, like Amazon. The option “Attempt to notify any Weblogs linked to from the article (slows down posting.)” is turned off with no effect.
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: New Auto Links pluginMade a minor update which brings the plugin to version 0.93.1. You can now add keywords on the fly, meaning while you’re writing the post. If there is a word you’re using in a post, and you want to add that to your general keywords list, you can wrap that word in a special tag — which I can’t show you here — and when you save the post, that word gets added to your keywords list and that special tag gets stripped out of the post.

In reply to: Does a Plugin like this exist? auto linking keywordsThe latest version, v0.93 does validate fully now, as long as you don’t use the ‘target’ attribute option. I left it in there cause some people still want to use it.
The plugin does have built in functionality to make life easier for Amazon Assocaites, for those out there looking to increase revenue.
There is also an auto installer on my website that’ll do all the work of uploading the files to your server. The only thing you have to do is activate it.
